There have been some new developments regarding the injury that Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz suffered, and his fate has now been revealed to Leafs fans.

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz appeared to injure his lower body after Anaheim's first goal late in the opening period during Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks.

Fans feared the worst, but it turns out Anthony Stolarz is only day-to-day. He won't play this weekend, but his decision to travel with the team to Detroit signals no additional testing or evaluation is required.

Via Luke Fox of Sportsnet on X, Stolarz is with the team but will sit out Saturday and Sunday.

That's good news for the Maple Leafs and their fans, who have seen Stolarz be fantastic this season and is one of the early frontrunners for the Vezina Trophy with a 9-5-2 record, a 2.15 GAA and a.927 save percentage.

He's been a key cog in helping Toronto stay atop the Atlantic Division, along with Joseph Woll.

Now called upon to lead the charge, Joseph Woll has also been outstanding, with an 8-3-0 record, a 2.16 GAA, and a.921 save percentage.

After some initial struggles following his return from injury, Woll has responded with four wins in his last five starts, rounding back into form.

To add some extra goaltending depth, Toronto recalled Dennis Hildeby from the Marlies. With Woll expected to start Saturday against Detroit, Hilleby will likely get the nod Sunday versus Buffalo.

In limited NHL work this season, Hilleby is 1-1-0 with a 4.03 GAA and a.869 save percentage.

Even without their star netminder, the Leafs are in good hands with Woll and appear ready to take on the Red Wings. If Woll keeps playing the way he has been, Toronto should be well-prepared for the weekend test.
